I’m so excited for the end of humanity. All of us could stop this but we sit here and write bullshit retrospectives.
We deserve it.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.

Humanity won't end, we're far too resilient. The age of human civilisation as we understand might very well end though.
I’ll settle for “endangered”
Honestly the best chance the planet has left versus our continued survival. I was hoping we could avoid purge/culling/mad-max levels of absurdity, yet here we are. I'm truly a monster for bringing my children into this world, and worse for trying, but failing, to raise them accordingly.
IE, I think they are more good people versus being tenaciously intent on survival at all costs. The species needs more of both, I guess.
Just teach them to be useful, and they will survive.
I wanted them to teach others that tenacity, to lead by example when it comes seizing life by the horns in the face of adversity. Yeah, I should't be too upset that they have been too comfortable until these last 6 weeks.
Maybe I should have raised them to be leaders in adition to being decent people, although the one supervises a bunch of cashiers at 16, so guess they'll be alright, if not contagiously so. My personal aversion to positions of authority did not rup off on them.
I for one welcome our future in the underground caves of steel.
I want to work in the sugar mines!
Oh sweet, you added another level to my impulse to comment "guilty". Not only did I hold my nose and vote for Harriss over this above most other issues, I don't even particularly believe we as a species deserve to survive.
I just don't believe animals, let alone other individual humans, deserve to suffer over my opinions and our collective indifference to the state in which we leave or keep the planet. We've got a long, painful extinction looming over us, whether in a thousand generations or two.
Leaning into it with the maggats is just an absurd response from anyone with more than two brain-cells to rub together.
You’re entitled to things
As are you, friend, as are you.
Apparently not decent health care and quality of life though.
Speak for yourself. As a disabled veteran, my healthcare is covered, just not my wife and kids', just yet. Socialism has actually been alive and well for certain swaths of the US population for a long time, just like the "socialism" that Hitler wanted for Germany ... and now I'm back to thinking I should move my family off of this sinking ship.
Nice job if you can get it.
And yes, that would be a good plan.
I have a regular job(for the moment; Seem to have hit upon a reasonable medication/therapy/routine regimen that allows for that, if not a sound state of mind). Doesn't take a disability rating that pays much of anything to get the Healthcare coverage.
That said, there are plenty of countries where I, maybe even my family, could live off what I get from the VA. I'm not looking to retire yet though.
Sounds like you’re all set. One of the few. Glad you’re physically feeling well enough to work.
And for what it’s worth, thanks for your service.
It's all in my head, yo. Physically, I'm "strong as an ox". Didn't help me avoid SA from peers I had considered friends.
Too many people don’t take mental health seriously. I think we know where that gets us. Look around! Haha. 😅
And her campaign promised to not end fracking. "Drill, baby, drill" is the mantra until the entire world is aflame.
